N. Shore district spends most per enrolled student
PA I N T PA R T Y
Study shows Great Neck spends the fifth-most throughout North Shore BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z Nassau County school districts that allocate the most funds per student outspend districts that provide the least amount by more than $20,000, according to a study of state statistics by Blank Slate Media. The study analyzed the enrollment figures, demographics and budget expenditures for the 56 public school districts in Nassau County. The study did not take into account property tax values, special education programs, adult education programs, English as new or secondary language programs, or other external factors aside from the overall budget and how many students were enrolled in the district. The average annual spending per pupil based on approved budgets and enrollment figures from New York’s Department of Education website was $32,424 throughout the county. The average number of enrolled students in each district in the county was 3,510. The study examined approved 2019-20 budgets based on preliminary enrollment figures for 2018-
19.
The Island Park school district, with two schools and 743 students, budgeted the most spending per pupil, according to state figures. The district’s budget of $40.6 million results in spending of $54,656 per student. The Franklin Square school district had almost the same budget as Island Park, $40.16 million, but with three schools and 1,981 students, the district spent $20,274 per student, the lowest of the districts. On the North Shore, the average number of students enrolled in each district was 3,749, with average spending of $31,943. The Floral Park-Bellerose school district allocated the least amount of funding per student, $21,944 for 1,479 students, while the North Shore school district allocated $43,295 each for 2,548 students. The other highest-spending school districts were Jericho at $39,736 per student, East Williston with $36,638 per student, Roslyn with $35,861 per student, Great Neck with $35,312 per student and Continued on Page 12
